Avila apartments

Sunroad is in partnership with Wermers Properties on the project near the 8800 block of Spectrum Center Boulevard.

Expected to be completed late next year, Ariva will comprise two buildings east of the yet-to-be-built Ariva Way and south of Lightwave Avenue. It will offer one- and two-bedroom units that feature quartz countertops, washers and dryers, private terraces and a view of two-acre Centrum Park.

Thomas Cox Architects is the designer; Schmidt Design, the landscape architect; Robin Wilson, the interior designer; and Kitchell Contractors, the general contractor.

The project is located in the master-planned community that occupies the former site of General Dynamics-Convair's missile plant. The most prominent building in the project is a high-rise office tower just east of state Route 163 and occupied by Bridgepoint Education.

A spokeswoman said a large mound of dirt just north of that office building is excavation material that is to be used elsewhere and is not related to a planned second office tower.
